EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Quarriers Orphan Homes of Scotland, located in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, circa 1920. In the image, a group of young girls are hard at work in the laundry room, their expressions focused and determined as they attend to the heavy duty chores of washing, wringing, and hanging clothes to dry. The laundry room, with its large sinks, wringers, and drying racks, serves as a reminder of the daily routine and communal living that was a part of life at the Quarriers Homes. The Quarriers Homes, established in 1873, were among the first children's homes in Scotland, providing care and support for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The organization's mission was to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these children, offering them the opportunity to grow and thrive. The girls in the photograph, clad in simple, practical uniforms, are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff and volunteers who ran the Homes. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the social welfare systems that existed during the early 20th century. It also serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of the children who lived in these homes, and the importance of the care and support they received. Today, the Quarriers organization continues to provide a range of services to support vulnerable children, young people, and adults, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Quarriers Homes.
